Statement of accounts

Updated Publication Notice 30 September 2024

In line with most other councils nationally, Colchester City Council continues to experience major audit delays. The extended delay creates considerable challenges for Finance officers, and uncertainty, especially in areas such as brought forward Balance Sheet values; this, combined with a temporary shortfall in technical accounting resources, led to substantial delays in the preparation of the Council’s Statement of Accounts for both 2021/22 and 2022/23.

The Council eventually published its draft Statement of Accounts for 2021/22 on the website on 15th September 2023 and the draft Statement of Accounts for 2022/23 on 26th February 2024.

Finance officers are currently preparing the Statement of Accounts for 2023/24 and are aiming to publish the draft Statements by 31st October 2024.

The final audited Statement of Accounts for 2020/21, 2021/22 and 2022/23 will be published immediately on the website once available.
